Strong teacher unions safeguard education

Teachers of the Lehigh Valley unite. When school boards need to stop raising taxes, they slash education programs along with their teachers. Any program will do, no matter what happens to the kids.

Gov. Corbett cut $1 million from education so school boards let a music program go, increase class size, and cut special help for kids. Teachers need to get some strong leaders (Saucon Valley types; the little district union with guts). It should be the whole of the Valley teachers threatening a strike, not just 170 teachers from Saucon Valley.
